Matchbox SLUF or more politely known as the A-7D
I built this old Matchbox 1/72 A-7D OOB except for the decals because I was annoyed with working with uncooperative resin and PE pieces as well as stubborn paint jobs that weren't going anywhere. Also wanted to practice working on SEA [...]
Traditional in a very unconventional way: Handley Page Heyford Mk.I
The Heyford by Matchbox is one of the early models I ventured over in my childhood. I still remember the joy of what was certainly anything but a first-class result. It was therefore a particular pleasure to be able to acquire one of these [...]
1/72 Matchbox/Revell Panther
Total out of the box build. Model Master GSB. A very decent kit with some diligent work preparing for the final color. Kit decals were used and they are excellent. The nose sits a bit high due to the front gear...I could fix that after [...]
Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk. VIII (conversion)

Matchbox 1/72 Do-18

Matchbox 1/72 Avro Lancaster
This is my Matchbox Lancaster that was built in 1985, originally I started on the Airfix kit that was released in the late 70's but I had some pretty bad warpage on both wings. Usually I can fix warpage issues but both wings were twisted [...]
Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX PK-2
